Political Correctness Gone MadFreddy Woo writes: "I once worked on an animation to help highlight the issues homeless people face in winter. The client was happy with the work, then a note came back that the ethnic mix of the characters were wrong. These were cartoon characters. They weren't meant to be ethnically anything, but we were forced to make one of them brown, at the cost of about 10k to the charity. This is how your donations are spent. Wisely as you can see."

"The illness that dares not speak it's name"
Been there, done that, got the t-shirt. I used to hide, as much as you can do when you're a raving loony, the fact that I've suffered for years with depression. Then I "came out" - much as Gay does. I stopped being ashamed of my "weakness" and started to talk about it.
But I still refer to Pysch Wards as:
"Napoleon Factories"
What?
